The artwork titled “Infanta and Her Dwarves, from the Case BOOKE OF IDOLATRY” was created by the artist Bruno Schulz circa 1922. The piece belongs to the Expressionism art movement and falls under the genre of illustration.
The artwork presents an intriguing scene featuring a central youthful figure, the infanta, surrounded by several dwarves. The composition employs intricate line work and an elaborate handling of light and shadow, characteristic of Expressionist style. The central character, poised elegantly, contrasts with the exaggerated and somewhat grotesque depictions of the dwarves. The background, rendered in dense crosshatching, provides a textured backdrop to the scene. This illustration evokes a sense of narrative and fantasy, immersing the viewer in a dramatic and somewhat surreal tableau.
